Things that you like about MLP that other Bronies may dislike

[Princess-Sunbutt 268]

I never really have disliked a single episode of Fim so I guess Im in the position of liking the episodes everyone hates in one way or another.

[Castle Bleck 19,355]

Everyone hating Somepony To Watch Over Me because AJ was supposedly OOC.

 

While she was flanderized somewhat, you have to remember she was leaving her elementary-aged sister at home alone during a days-long business trip; some overprotectiveness shouldn't have been unexpected, especially given Word Of God saying the Apple parents are...

Hm... Everything. Ok ok, let me be more specific;

 

Cloppers: Not doing ANYTHING to hurt ANYONE, and I know a clopper who gave me a free 3DS XL when mine broke. Yeah, these people are SO ruining this fandom, being generous and kind and non-judgemental!

 

Darker Stuff: I like some of the creepy pastas and grimdark art, so long as it is well written and/or designed, same with pretty much any art (also see above, because a clopfic/nsfw art is still beautiful even if the content is sexual)

 

Alicorn OC's: Say hi to Midnight, my Alicorn OC:

 

 

 

 

He has what I consider a half decent reasoning behind his alicornification, he isn't a Mary Sue (not nearly as well versed in magic as Twilight, slower than RD by a ton, and if you put all the Alicorns on a rating scale he would rank lower than any of them in terms of overall ability), and an overall pleasant fellow (meaning no dark past). Again, so long as it is well made, I see no reason that it can't work (noticing a pattern here...)

 

The "Loud and Prouds": Now lemme explain on this one, because I don't like it when people shove their bronydom down others' throats. That's not cool. HOWEVER, some of the more like "Idgaf" bronies are some people I seriously admire, and wish I could be more like. I WISH I could reference the show in public, I wish I could have a Luna phone case, I wish I could have Vinyl Scratch on my music stuff! I'm just... Too afraid

 

I love ALL the ponies: Something I notice a TON is the whole "Pony A is greater than Pony B" bull. All of the ponies are important, otherwise they wouldn't exist. Now, I do have a favorite from the mane 6, and the princesses, and secondaries and bg and all of them. But that doesn't make me VALUE the remaining ponies any less. I love all the mane cast, and everypony else as well, they are important and valued members of the show and whether it is Flutters or RD's bonding, AJ or Rarity's conflicting natures, or Twi and Pinkie's crazy antics (come on, we know these 2 get some of the weirder stuff when paired together), I don't care who is on screen, I love them all

- Cloppers, They're not that bad.

 

- Dave Polsky, he's a great writer, Feeling Pinkie Keen (which moral was great, by the way) , Over A Barrel, Keep Calm And Flutter On, and Rarity Takes Manehattan are awesome episodes.

 

- I like Mare Do Well, it's right that the episode had lots of flaws, but Rainbow Dash was in character, it was understandable how she was acting, and it had one of the best scenes in the show.

 

"I hate being all alone"

[BayoUni2847 528]

Twilight being transformed into a princess and Equestria Girls really pop to me.

 

I liked Twilight becoming an alicorn because it mixes things up a little bit.

 

I enjoyed Equestria Girls because we got to see how our favorite ponies' personalities would be like in a human world.

 

I'm pretty sure Rainbow Rocks might've changed a lot of bronies minds on Equestria Girls, but I'm not really clear on that.

[Megas 27,624]

I like a lot of episodes/writers that quite a lot bronies tend to hate

 

Also some people in this fandom need to stop acting like Rainbow Falls murdered their fucking dogs

[Castle Bleck 19,355]

@Megas75,

 

It didn't murder them, but it did neuter/spay them.

Dude seriously it's not that bad

No no no you got it all wrong. They don't act like Rainbow Falls  murdered their dogs, they act like it it murdered all their pets, their family, and blew up their house.

[Stellafera 3,836]

It's not as bad as I thought it was when I first watched it, but I find it vaguely entertaining to hate on it with the same passion anyways. Sometimes it's fun to slam things.

Back on topic, Merriwether Williams is one of the show's stronger writers and has a good grasp on every character (except for Spike for some reason). One of FIM's reoccurring problems is pacing, but Merriwether always paces her stories well. 

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention season 3. (Would say season 4, but that's more liked with a handful of episodes I mentioned up their being unnecessarily hated.) Honestly, people act like that season ransacked their house, and killed everyone they love. 

 

Well we're on the subject Crystal Empire is not even that bad. I actually watched it recently and found it a lot better than I remembered, and yet people act like this episode blew up the planet. The only real bad thing I found with the episode was the climax being underwhelming due to Sombra's lack of screen time. But hey, he's actually got stuff he does arguably better than Nightmare Moon and Crysillis. The latter stupidly explaining her plan to ponies who can easily stop her and the former putting up cheap obstacles like some bad Legend of Zelda boss. 

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302]

I honestly don't think smexy (or even outright naughty) pony art is disliked / hated by the majority of Bronies.  I think that the majority of Bronies won't admit that they like and peruse it, though.  I'm actually really, really picky about it myself and only interested in images involving (preferably just) Dashie, so even I dislike a good deal of what I see.  It must be just so! xD

 

I really enjoy the first part of The Mysterious Mare Do Well.  I was fine with Dashie's sexy and entirely justified boasting. xD  Saving babies and wrinkly old ponies alike!!  Had issues the first time I saw it, received comfort and counsel from ppls in the RDFC, and ultimately learned to focus on the good and cope with the rest.  Sad Dashie makes me sad Ziggy, though; this is a fact.

 

Rainbow Falls is great; I don care wut yoo say.  I laughed, I cried, squeaky-voiced / bandaged Rainbow Dash is adorable (and her acting was entirely convincing)...  Need I say more??  And I'm...  Not at all fond of Soarin (you've no idea how incredibly polite I'm being right now).  So if *I* could enjoy it, no one else has any excuse. xD

[EpitomeOfTruth 243]

Rainbow Falls was good

 

Somepony to Watch Over Me was fantastic

 

Equestria Games was great

 

Show Stoppers rocked...in fact, all CMC episodes are good

 

Sombra is a good villain

 

Crystal Empire was awesome

 

Merriwether Williams and Dave Polsky are not terrible writers

 

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon do not need their heads paraded across Equestria

 

Pinkie's behavior in Filli Vanilli is totally understandable

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

- A lot of people don't like the way RD turned out in the last season, I couldn't care less

- Season 3 & 4 didn't suck contrary to popular belief

- Twilicorn was a good thing

- Magical /mystery Cure was a good episode

- I'd rather have Sombra as a villain than not at all (The actual episode was good enough)

[Leonard Smix 421]

-The idea of Malicorns

-Rainbow Falls

 

Those are about the two that come to mind.

[Megas 27,624]

Speaking of Rainbow Dash, outside of one certain episode(and even then that's debatable), I don't see why so many bronies has such an irrational vendetta against Season 2 Rainbow Dash. I actually thought that season was one of her best only beaten by S3

[Shanks 10,816]

I also thought Cupcakes was hilarious and was baffled at how many people acted like it was the most vile thing ever written when there are gorefics out there that are way way more messed up than Cupcakes and I have actually read some of them.  And as I have said many times before I like pony plots, especially ones with apples on them. I think there are more and more people starting to realize that it is there and are starting to accept it but clop is still a huge controversy and I don't understand why. There are countless other shows geared toward kids and have non human characters that have porn of them but I am yet to see such a significant portion of those fandoms so up in arms about the R34 sides of them.

[Twilightlover6 193]

Sexual....pony..art...stuff..

 

 

ya

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

I like the clopping. I find it funny that some people in this fandom act like its CP or something

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

Alright!

ALIGHT!

I'll admit it.

Maybe I do read erotic fiction from time to time.

And maybe I do like some of the sexualized fanart.

But I am no clopper...

 

 

...alright maybe I am.

And I know most Bronies this sort of thing, but it seems like these forums are a bit more acceptant.

Merriwether Williams and "The Mysterious Mare Do Well". I've explained my position on her and that episode before, but it's one of my favorite "hated" episodes for several reasons. Including but not limited to Rainbow Dash's ego finally getting an episode all to its self.

 

Also, I love Gilda, Suri Polomare, and Diamond Tiara, all three characters who get tons of hate. Granted, I recognize that a lot of it is rightly earned, but I love their role as antagonists in their respective episodes, or, in Diamond Tiara's case, her role as the needed bully throughout the show for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to develop.

 

Finally...

 

I honestly don't think smexy (or even outright naughty) pony art is disliked / hated by the majority of Bronies.  I think that the majority of Bronies won't admit that they like and peruse it, though.  I'm actually really, really picky about it myself and only interested in images involving (preferably just) Dashie, so even I dislike a good deal of what I see.  It must be just so! xD

 

I kind of agree with this to an extent. I don't want to label the majority of Bronies as secretly liking sexual MLP images, but I do want to say that, at least nowadays, Bronies seem to treat Cloppers and the Clop art itself okay, at least around here. Though I'm sure when faced by a hater there might still be some disowning going on.

[A Black Circle 1,586]

MMC is my favorite episode. The character writing and understanding is perfect.

 

Like, fucking perfect.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302]

Also, I love Gilda, Suri Polomare, and Diamond Tiara, all three characters who get tons of hate.

I always thought / hoped that Gilda would return.  I even saw her possibly being redeemed and forgiven.  But, at the very least, I thought she and RD could use some closure.  Yes, she was antagonistic and ill-tempered, but she seemed to get along with and like Dashie.  It was established they were old friends, but Gilda was ultimately discarded / forgotten by the writing staff.  Or perhaps they were too afraid to bring her back and face the continued wrath of anti-Gilda Bronies. xD  Even some later rivalry would've been preferable to her permanent disappearance, IMO.

[Castle Bleck 19,355]

Dear Hasbro,

 

Gilda for S5...

 

 

Love,

At first clop stuff. I don't understand why this is so hated. Many people like +18 arts and I can't believe that so many guys hate clop. 

Farther I love gore and grimdark. For example I think that "Cupcakes" and "Smile HD" are good and funny. And I also prefer Twillight as unicorn.
